- Competition: Champions League

- Kick-off: 20:00 UTC / 22:00 CET
- Venue: Villa Park
Aston Villa will be looking to end their three games winless streak at Villa Park on Wednesday night when they play host to Juventus in the Champions League.
The Villans are one of the Premier League sides struggling for form at the moment. Like Manchester City, Unai Emery's side went into Premier League round 12 last weekend on the back of four consecutive defeats in all competitions and had failed to score in each of the last two. The Villans twice came from a goal down to draw 2-2 and will be hoping to replicate that fighting spirit against Juventus on Wednesday.
Juventus meanwhile have been a difficult side to beat in all competitions this season. The Old Lady have avoided defeat in 16 of their 17 competitive matches this season and have kept ten clean sheets. Thiago Motta's side go into Wednesday's clash with a run of six games without defeat (two wins and four draws), but the fact that their only defeat this season has come in Europe is a cause for concern.
Aston Villa vs Juventus Betting Tips: Under 2.5 goals
Except for the 3:0 win over Young Boys, games involving Aston Villa in the Champions League this season have been very close and Wednesday’s game is unlikely to be different.
Bets on ‘under 2.5 goals’ were won in all the last three games of the Villans in Europe and two of those encounters ended with just one goal.
Juventus have relied heavily on their defence this season. The Serie A side boast three clean sheets from their last four matches and none of the four encounters produced more than two goals.
- Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals
- Aston Villa vs Juventus prediction: 1-1
Aston Villa team news
Kortney Hause will be unavailable to Aston Villa head coach Unai Emery on Wednesday due to a knee injury, but the defender is the hosts’ only injury concern.
With his goal last weekend, Ollie Watkins has now scored six goals across all competitions this season and should lead the line, leaving Jhon Durán on the bench, while Ross Barkley and Youri Tielemans are set to reunite in midfield.
